He added,"The rains in the past few days may have helped,but the devastation from extreme weather is far from over. Our dedicated teams across Australia,many of whom were directly threatened by the fires,are there to help at all times. Local fund-raising efforts by our employee groups throughout the country highlight the passion that our employees have for their fellow Australians at their time of need. We stand side by side with our people to help them in any way we can."
Mr Ho Kuen Loon,Group Chief Executive Officer of Fullerton Health,said,"We watched the fires burn with deep concern,and we recognise that our colleagues and patients have been affected by this tragedy. Besides the donation,our primary care facilities in Australia continue to care for our patients and work to keep our communities safe. We must do what we can for the communities in which we operate."
